"Some bi-curious girl from college." That would've been cool. - Finish your point. - 'Cause all I need is a deep-dicking? - Pardon? - Nothing. I think... Obviously you can't control the way people take the movie. But it was frustrating to be a lesbian at that point when that film came out. - How old are you? - I'm 22. You were... So that's going back four years? So I was 18. Did you know you were straight when you were 18? No. Ma'am, I'm still not sure. And I've got a wife and child. How irresponsible is that? All I can do is make movies the way I wanna make them... the way I wanna see them, as entertaining as possible. If I can whip a message in there, that's more than most cats do. And I feel good. I can sleep with myself, and a man or a woman... at night because of that. The movies we've made... there's always been gay content in there, would you agree? You think it's dumb but harmless. Some people think it's a breakthrough that really enabled them to come out. Large portions of the gay community love what we do. A very small pocket is like, "He's a closet fag-hater"... not knowing the amount of cock that I chug myself. But that's none of their fucking business. I've always thrown that in there because I always felt, from Clerks forward... Even before I knew we were gonna have an audience. When I was writing Clerks... I have a brother. My brother's gay. I just outed him to everyone at Cornell. He's very out. My brother and I had a discussion when he first came out about movies... and how weird it is to go to predominately 99.9999% hetero movies... and watch the guy and girl live happily ever after... never see himself represented on the screen... unless it's a very swishy stereotype, i. E. The Birdcage. Or an ice pick killer. I thought, "That's pretty shitty. He can't get into a flick on any level because he doesn't feel represented." So I said, "I'm gonna throw a little gay content in the flicks... so my brother will know it was in there for him." Because, why the fuck not? When I found out we had an audience, I said:"Fuck it. I'm throwing lots of gay content in." Because they're sitting there... And yes, they are predominately young. And I do have fans that are like, "Great movies, man! Wanna get high?" I also do have some fans, nobody in this room, mind you... that are like, "Love those movies, man. But why is there so much gay stuff in them? Gay's bad." I always try to fuck with their heads. Case in point was Chasing Amy. We make Chasing Amy and have our first test-screening. They keep 10 people around to do a focus group. Ever been to a focus group? They keep 10 people and ask them questions. From 200, they keep 10 around and ask them questions:"What did or didn't you like about the movie? Tell us why." They give that data to the filmmaker, and they're like, "Do it better!" Horrible fucking process. But it's interesting to hear what people say. So they talked to one cat in the audience. He's like... I won't forget this guy. He's like, "I like Kevin Smith's movies. I am a Kevin Smith character. I am Brodie. I love the mall and comics. And I wouldn't fuck Shannen Doherty either." If you saw this motherfucker, he wouldn't have a chance. I'm in the back, 'cause you can't reveal yourself or that'll skew the data. I'm sitting there, chuckling and listening, and he's like:"I identify with the Banky character because it's Jason Lee again.
